Masters of Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages
The Master of Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages develops specialised skills and knowledge for professional practice in teaching. This course is designed to provide graduates with a comprehensive grounding in the theory and practice of Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages.
This year I decided to begin my masters degree in TESOL and form an ESL program for Karen Refugees at Kalianna. Working with children from diverse cultural backgrounds has always been a passion of mine. I was given the amazing opportunity to use both of my skills in special education and TESOL to create a program to cater for these students.
